Spinal Decompression Therapy offers long term results without the risks associated with surgery and medication.

Back pain can take a toll on the quality of your life, robbing you of life's greatest adventures and experiences. It’s estimated that nearly 16 million Americans experience chronic back pain (Healthy Policy Institute). Chronic back pain is described as ongoing, long term back pain, which is an extremely frustrating and painful way to live.

There are methods to relieve chronic back pain such as spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy is non-invasive and can help manage your back pain, safely. And if you know back pain, you know that you will try pretty much anything to feel relief.

What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is often recommended to people who are experiencing neck and/or back pain that is due to disc-related pressure or injuries within the spine. Patients with herniated, bulging, or degenerating discs can benefit from spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy uses a method of slowly and gently stretching the spine. This method of therapy helps stimulate blood flow to the spine and promotes the growth of new cells, rebuilding of healthy tissue, and long term healing.

What’s the process?

To perform the treatment, you will lie on your back in a relaxed position. Your knees are elevated with a bolster underneath for comfort. A harness is attached to your chest and lower back. You will feel a slight pull and then a backing off of pressure. Your spine will gradually elongate while there is decompression of the discs and nerves.

Treatment Plan

Spinal decompression therapy is a process that usually consists of about 10-20 sessions. Treatment is usually planned to be spaced out over 4 to 6 weeks. This time frame depends on the individual patient, his or her condition, and their personalized patient care plan. A session is typically complete within 30 to 45 minutes.

Outcome

Patients may begin to feel relief after the first few sessions. However, for many patients, relief is obtained once the entire treatment plan is complete. Patients can expect to feel long lasting results without having to take any medication or undergoing surgery. Spinal decompression therapy is fairly simple for a patient to undergo. Patients are expected to arrive ready to relax to allow for the treatment to work. Patients are commonly asked to drink lots of water after each treatment so their body can restore itself back to health post decompression.

Spinal decompression therapy isn’t just for those suffering with pain from disc related injuries. Spinal decompression therapy can help people with pain related to sciatica, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome and more. This FDA approved treatment offers fast relief and is completely risk free. This is unlike spinal surgery, which is invasive, risky and can cause more pain.

Bulging, herniated, and degenerating discs are painful. Nerve pain is debilitating and pain medication does not provide long term relief. Spinal decompression therapy can help your neck and back heal from chronic pain, so you can claim your life back.
